Factory Drive Recorder Omron created its Factory Drive Recorder to offer an affordable, out-of-the-box solution to some of the problems posed by traditional methods of tracking production errors. It lets users connect up to eight cameras to record multiple views of an incident on a single system. Four triggering methods can start a recording: Time-based (triggering after a specified interval of time has passed); motion detection (for example, the opening of a door); comparison of a component to a preset master image; and trigger signal (from a sensor, PLC or other external source). The Factory Drive Recorder can record video up to five minutes before and after a designated trigger.
What’s new? The Factory Drive Recorder.
Benefits Affordability and ease of use. No outside experts are required to set up the Factory Drive Recorder. And because users can tailor triggering methods to the needs of their process, less time and effort are wasted attempting to root out the source of production errors. The system is compatible with Omron’s M-series GigE Vision, B-series GigE Vision, M-series USB3 Vision and UVC industrial cameras.
